Description
This exhibition highlights two popular genres of 19th-century Mexican painting commemorating family members who no longer reside in the household— offering them a lasting presence in the home. The first intimately portrays deceased individuals in likenesses imbued with grief and tender remembrance. The second genre is the uniquely Mexican monja Coronado or “crowned nun” portrait. Images of flowers adorned Brides of Christ were commissioned by the families of women who took Catholic ecclesiastical vows and permanently embarked on cloistered lives.

Description
The artist’s recent work titled: (Untitled Flag) series challenges the symbolic meaning of the American flag and questions the sociopolitical history that has made it recognizable across the globe. A symbol of the American dream for some, and capitalist imperialism for others, the history of the American flag is fraught and complicated.
